With the success of "Harry" in the United States, the people of Bantan Books once again increased their publicity efforts, but after all, it was not as hot as the British market.

It wasn't until next year, when Disney's year-long Harry cartoon aired that another magic frenzy began.

At this time in Hong Kong, a new movie is finally about to be released after many days of publicity.

May 13.

In the cinema owned by Golden Harvest, there are more than 20 people sitting in an independent and somewhat small screening room.

On the screen, the heroine Ami played by Hu Yinmeng has a beautiful face, but she exudes the slightest momentum of not entering, she cleans up this rented attic, and downstairs is a grocery store on the street.

After a while, she cleaned up some old furniture, went downstairs, took the key handed to her by the landlady, and took over the grocery store.

The plot of the opening chapter is very simple, the heroine is an ordinary writer who, in order to save money, rents the attic on the upper floor of the grocery store as a residence, and also applies for a job as a grocery store employee.

When there are customers, I sell miscellaneous goods in the store, and when no one is around, I take a pen and write a book there.

The camera now vividly captures a newspaper on the table, which is dated May 3, 1968.

After introducing the heroine, soon the vision suddenly changed, it was still the same grocery store, but it seemed to be a little more old, and the goods inside had completely changed, and the beautifully packaged food, daily necessities, etc., were replaced with products in the style of the past era.

The clerk played by Xie Xian, Ah Wen, was waving goodbye to the owner, silently picking up a rag and starting to wipe the glass on the counter.

Slowly moving with the camera, you can clearly see the calendar on the wall, which reads 1940.

The rest of the story is similar to the middle one, Ah Wen put the letter he wrote to his family in Guangzhou into the mailbox, waiting for the postman to come and receive the letter in the evening.

But time turned, back to the 60s when Ami lived, she woke up in the morning and opened the door of the store, and began to load the goods as usual, wiping down the cabinets and tables in the store.

After finally packing up, I walked to the door and looked at the weather outside, and suddenly my eyes swept to the mailbox hanging on the wall outside the store.

It was a very old mailbox, and inside a thin slit, it should have been pitch black, but now it was covered with a touch of yellow.

Ami was a little curious, walked over and took a look, and found that there was indeed a letter inside, and finally opened the lock of the mailbox, and was surprised to find that the address of the letter was actually written in Guangzhou!

Thinking that someone had thrown the wrong mailbox, she slipped it back in, thinking that someone would take it.

But time passed quietly, a day, two days, three days... One week, two weeks, three weeks... A month has passed, and the letter in the mailbox has not been taken.

When Ami was a little surprised, Ah Wen, who had passed through time and space, wrote another letter to his family and stuffed it into the mailbox.

There were two letters in the mailbox.

Ami finally couldn't resist her curiosity, and took the letter into the grocery store, wanting to open it and take a look, but she was always a little hesitant, after all, it was rude to peek at other people's letters.

It's just that two letters with the same address were thrown into the mailbox of the grocery store, and it wasn't to be seen or not, which made Ami a little overwhelmed.

In the end, Ami still read these two letters, but she didn't read them on purpose, but a neighbor who liked Ami, and when he came to buy something, he happened to see these two letters, thinking they were Ami's letters, and secretly opened them.

The two letters are very ordinary family letters, and the letter should be written by a man, who said that he was living well in Hong Kong, and that the owner was very good to him, and his salary was more than ten yuan a month.

This made Ami stunned, more than ten yuan a month is still good to the boss?

This plot, many people who watched the scene would smile.

Ami would receive a letter every other month, sometimes two a month, which made Ami very helpless, and one day she got up in the middle of the night and stood by the mailbox.

But nothing was found, and the next day the letter still appeared in the mailbox.

Seeing this, Ami wrote a letter and put it in the mailbox, hoping that the person who delivered the letter could see it.

In fact, this magical mailbox did bring Ami's letter decades ago.

In this way, two people from different time and space intertwined, one was a hopeful young man who had just arrived in Hong Kong to work, and the other was a writer who loved literature, and gradually exchanged letters.

The two went from not knowing each other to gradually becoming pen pals, and after a year of correspondence, both parties developed a trace of affection for this strange and familiar friend.

The so-called distance produces beauty, this time is not only distance, even the time has been separated by more than 20 years, so the two people talk about the world, share the interesting things around them, and the picture is very beautiful.

The two also mailed each other's photos to each other, Arwen is tall, although he is a little old-fashioned, but his smiling face is full of beauty for life and the future.

Needless to say, Ami played by Hu Yinmeng looks like it.

Finally, one day, the two decided to meet and agreed to watch a movie at the door of the Leigh Theater.

But the two of them waited at the door of the movie theater for seven or eight hours, but they didn't wait for each other.

Ami cried a lot after going back, and Ah Wen was also very depressed, thinking that he was not worthy of such a beautiful person as a poor boy.

Originally, Ami thought that Ah Wen would write a letter to her to apologize or something, but she didn't wait for that letter, it turned out that in 1941, when Ah Wen was located, the Japanese invaded and Hong Kong fell.

The picture is dark.

Three years passed quietly.

Because she wrote a book, which was a big hit in Hong Kong, and she received an invitation from a columnist for "Young Adult Books" magazine, Ami, who had the financial resources, was ready to quit her job at this grocery store and move to another place to concentrate on writing.

The next day, when I opened the door of the store and was ready for the last day of business, a strange and familiar man suddenly stood outside the door, and Ami suddenly burst into tears......

...

This is where the movie ends, leaving behind an imaginary ending.

This also made many viewers dissatisfied, after all, they could only see the man's back, not the front, but no matter what, more viewers still stood up and applauded!

In a separate small theater of Golden Harvest Cinema, Huo Yaowen also applauded, he watched this movie for the first time today, and Li Hanxiang invited him to watch a sample film before.

But Huo Yaowen was delayed at that time, so he didn't go, and this time the movie was released, he also came with Zhang Wanjun.

And Zou Wenhuai, who had just returned to Hong Kong not long ago, heard that the movie was released, and he also came over to join in the fun, and even vacated a small theater for Huo Yaowen and the main actors and directors of the crew to watch.

"Director Li's film is so good!" Zou Wenhuai is an old filmmaker, he has watched literary films since he has seen them, and he has seen a lot of them, and he knows how to distinguish whether they can sell well.

This literary romance film is ordinary and not simple, the hero and heroine who have never met, when they sweetly share the stories around them, they are full of sadness.

If the film hadn't given an open-ended ending at the end, just looking at the plot would have thought it would be a movie with a tragic ending.

After all, twenty years apart in time and space, and it's not a science fiction film, how can two people be together?

He Guanchang also complimented: "Yes, yes, Director Li is really amazing, this movie will definitely be a big hit!"

"Haha, Manager Zou and Manager He, you are too polite. It's not the first time Li Hanxiang has watched the film, but with Zou Wenhuai and others complimenting and touting, he was proud in his heart, but he still said modestly: "This is mainly because Miss Zhang's story is well written, and Mr. Huo helps to guide him." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled: "Director Li, I didn't help much, it's better for you to shoot it yourself." ”

To be honest, Huo Yaowen didn't pay much attention to this movie, but he also went to the set a few times and gave Li Hanxiang some advice, such as the camera deliberately staying on the small details of the newspaper and calendar.

To be honest, the directors of Hong Kong and Taiwan are still a little rough in making movies, not as delicate as they were later. But Li Hanxiang made this movie a lot of research, on the one hand, he wanted to open up his new company's fame, and on the other hand, it was also because of some of the more common shooting techniques that Huo Yaowen talked about in later generations, which brought him a sense of freshness.

On the other side, Zhang Wanjun, who was sitting next to Huo Yaowen, said to Hu Yinmeng, who had become a good friend: "Ah Meng, you played it well, I cried when I watched the scene of waiting for someone at the door of the movie theater!"

Hu Yinmeng was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said shyly: "Actually, it's nothing, it was a little cold on the day of filming this scene, and it was okay during the day, but when I was playing at night, I wore a dress, and I shivered with cold, and when the director asked me to cry, I thought that I was so pitiful that I was frozen here, so I cried directly." ”

"Haha, no wonder!" Zhang Wanjun grinned.

……

At noon, everyone left the theater and prepared to go to a nearby restaurant for a big meal.

A large number of people who walked out of the theater had gathered outside the cinema, and they were discussing the movie they had just watched.

"Who of you knows who played that Ami in the movie?

"Didn't you watch the actor at the beginning? ”

"Because of the dream, such a beautiful name, no wonder she looks so beautiful, I feel that she is even more beautiful than Zhen Zhen and Chen Baozhu!"

"Alas, I still envy Xie Xian, this kid is really blessed, he filmed "Wind" with Zhen Zhen before, and now he is making a movie with such a big beauty. ”

"Yes, I really want to marry a woman like Inmeng, then I'm too happy!"

"Then you can also be an actor, if you want to shoot with that actress, you can shoot with that!"

"Come on, I'm still a little self-aware. ”

“……”

These audience members were unabashed, unaware that the heroine had just walked past them.

The group walked towards the restaurant, and Zhang Wanjun joked to Hu Yinmeng: "Ah Meng looks like you're going to be popular, and the audience at the door just now said that you are so beautiful!

Hu Yinmeng's face turned red, and he was not to be outdone: "I read the newspaper yesterday and said that you are the most beautiful and talented woman in Hong Kong, I am afraid that there are more people who want to marry you as a wife!"

At this moment, Zhang Wanjun was also a little embarrassed.

With the publicity before the release of the "Grocery Store" movie, Zhang Wanjun once again became popular in the newspapers, and many newspapers began to report on this talented Hong Kong woman who is famous for her literary talent and appearance.

————

Two days later, "Worry Relief Grocery Store" was also successfully released in Taiwan.

Qingxia and Zhang Liren, who are friends of Hu Yinmeng, went to cheer for the first time, looking at Hu Yinmeng, who was even more beautiful on the screen than a few months ago.

While Zhang Liren was envious, he also said to Qingxia angrily: "Look at you, Director Li said that you refused to sign you as an actor, so I missed such a good opportunity!"

At first, Li Hanxiang wanted Qingxia to play Ami, but unfortunately her parents didn't agree and had to give up.

Qingxia didn't answer, but looked at the screen with a hint of envy in her eyes, and her mood was self-evident.
